they ban child labor because of its mental and physical welfare on children. also if they put children in school the factorys would have smarter workers. In 1906 senator Albert J. Beveridge passed the first child labor bill.

overall i feel like this is a very bad thing that happend. Its unfortunate what children of such an young age were put through, like the long hours of work of such a small crowded and stuffy place. Its also unfortunate how many people have lost their lives due to the unsafety of the work places. But if this event never happend then there is a chance that we would all still be working in factorys today.

this happend becuase of poverty, the limited amount of workers rights and mainly because there was no rules against child labor at that time.

the working conditions in the factorys were really bad, it was a small room full of women, men and children. There was almost no venalation and very high amount of exposures to heavy metals, and solvients. The working hours were extreamly long ranging from 10-12 hours a day, 6 days a week.

they hired children because they could be paid less, they are also smaller so if they needed someone to go into a small space they would be the one to. They are also a smaller mouth to feed, And they were less likly to create a union about the horrible working conditions. And if they were to act out or complain their bosses could dicipline them by hitting them.
